We've had a wonderful weekend with all the kids home to celebrate Thanksgiving. Wayne has been a bit under the weather, but we were able to take a family walk around Buck Horn Lake after our Thanksgiving dinner, which has become a family tradition.
Yesterday we picked up Matthew's "new" (used car) so he was happy to have his own wheels again. Notice that I wrote "was". This afternoon while driving home from Oneonta he didn't have brakes and front ended an oncoming car. His "new" car is definitely totaled, and I wouldn't be surprised if the other car will be, too. The other driver was taken to the hospital with a bloody nose and difficulty breathing, but they told Matt that she may have been hyperventilating from the shock of the accident. He walked away from a badly mangled car without a scratch--though he's very sore from the seatbelt. We have SO MUCH to be thankful for! The accident could have been so much worse since it was on a very sharp 's' curve at the bottom of a hill. If he had gone off the road, he would have ended up in the river and would have probably flipped it in the process. Thirty minutes earlier he had a carload of his friends with him. God is so good! How thankful I am to be able to hug my eldest this evening. Please be in prayer for "Sarah" the 17-year old driver of the other car--that her injuries are minor and that she'll be fine.
Go hug your loved ones just because they're there!
